childhood

Golden haired in the sunlight

she dances in the green

effervescent joy in life and beauty

and dreams that are unseen.

thrill of the day

The observant child spotted them in the neighbour's back yard, watching us from across the tracks.

What a thrill.

chickadee

Friends can sit on the porch, quietly chatting about many things

while the hummingbirds and the chickadees flit about

and the minutes slip away.

Precious moments well spent.

Thanks Betty!

"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosphy, like art ....

It has no survival value;

rather it is one of those things that give value to survival."

The Four Loves

dew drop

It hangs there in blue air

this dew drop portrait of trees and sky

a vision distorted and bottoms up

a thought that appears rationale

but is skewed and muddled

and drops in due time.

Unless thoughts are God given they are distortions of truth and cannot stand the test of time.

And the thoughts drop like rain.

It is good to take pleasure in the simple things of life

and simple to take pleasure in the good.
